Optical Imaging

Optical Imaging is a newly-developed touch technology that offers ease of use, low cost and flexible sizing. This technology uses optical sensors to detect the touch point, allowing the touch to register just before the physical touch on the screen, meaning that users can apply zero or light touch to the screen to initiate a response. Any input device, such as a paintbrush, finger, pen or stylus will work with the touch screen. Surface coating overlays are not used on the touch screen surface, creating a crystal clear image. In addition, scratches on the touch surface will not affect the touch screen operation, which is important for high-use environments such as a lobby or kiosk. Optical Imaging scales easily to very large displays (up to 120 inches), making it possible to create genuinely collaborative, interactive settings. Optical Imaging also provides a solution without calibration drift; once the touch screen has been calibrated it does not require any further adjustments, eliminating maintenance costs.
